FAQ

How to properly wash a light quilt?

To properly wash a light quilt, it is recommended to use a washing machine on a delicate cycle at 30°C. Do not use bleach or harsh detergents that could damage the fabrics and padding. Do not use optical brighteners; dry cleaning is possible.

It is preferable to air dry, avoiding direct and prolonged sun exposure to preserve the colors. If necessary, it can be ironed at a moderate temperature. To maintain its quality over time, it is advisable not to overload the washing machine and to use specific programs for delicate or padded items.


Difference between summer quilt and winter duvet?

The main difference between a summer quilt and a winter duvet concerns weight, filling, and thermal capacity.

A summer quilt is light, with a thin filling designed to offer comfort without retaining too much heat. It is ideal for mid-seasons or cooler summer nights, generally with temperatures between 18°C and 22°C. It ensures breathability and a pleasant feeling of freshness during sleep.

A winter duvet, on the other hand, is much heavier and has a thick filling, designed to retain body heat. It is suitable for colder months when temperatures drop below 15°C, providing thermal insulation and enveloping comfort.

In summary, the summer quilt is perfect for those seeking lightness and breathability, while the winter duvet is designed to offer maximum warmth and protection from the cold.
